What a thing to vote on during the holiday break!<br>
<br>
<p><i>The United Nations General Assembly on Friday
approved a resolution that aims to create a new international
convention on cybercrime.</i></p>
<p><i>The Russian-sponsored resolution was approved by a
79-60 vote with 33 abstentions, </i><i><a href="https://apnews.com/79c7986478e5f455f2b281b5c9ed2d15" rel="noopener noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">according to The
Associated Press</a></i><i>.</i></p>
<p><i>The resolution was approved over objections from
both the European Union and the United States, as many fear
language in the resolution will allow for crackdowns on
expression.</i></p>
